“Free basketball!” is usually an exclamation that floods onto Twitter when a game goes into overtime. However, this weekend, instead of a third period in a game, the basketball gods have given us a third Villanova game at the Mohegan Sun against Mike Young’s Virginia Tech.
After Thursday’s 83-74 Thanksgiving Day win against Arizona State, Wright said that he wanted to find another game to play this weekend, if possible. With Virginia Tech likely scrambling to find an opponent after Temple cancelled due to a coronavirus outbreak, the Wildcats were officially scheduled as their new opponent overnight.
